24 or 24 Hours. A TV Show about a terrorist threat against the United States that takes place in a day. Each season of the show has 24 one hour episodes (including commercials) to create a total of 24 hours, creating the real-time effect.

Honestly, it dosen't get much better than 24. The best show on telivision. Has had four seasons so far, the fifth is set to occur sometime in January 2006. The fourth season wasn't as good as the others, but still better than any other show. If you're bored one day, I *reccomend* ...rent, or better, buy the first season of 24. 18 strait hours of pure excitement.

Milo buys the first season of 24.

*Milo stays glued to 24*
*a few minutes pass*
*Milo's mom comes into room*
"Milo, what is so interesting about this show? You've been watching it for 9 hours strait, now."
*on telivision* Jack: "I am the LAST thing you will ever see if you if you hurt my wife or my daughter"
*Milo's mom sits*
*9 hours later, Milo and his mother are still watching 24 in disbelief that a show could be so powerful and addicting*
